ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 (latest edition), or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edi-
tion) and all local codes and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommendedthataqualiedelectriciandeterminethat
the ground path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained
from:
National Fire Protection Association

CSA International
8501 East Pleasant Valley Road
Cleveland, OH 44131-5575
A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused
electrical circuit is required.
If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the
procedure below:
Connect a section of solid copper wire to the
pigtail leads.
Connect the aluminum wiring to the added
section of copper wire using special co
nectors and/or tools designed and UL listed
for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer’s recom-
mended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must
conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring
practices.
Wire sizes and connections must conform with
theratingoftheapplianceasspeciedonthe
model/serial rating plate.
The model/serial plate is located on the left side of
the range hood.
Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (la
est edition), or CSA Standards C22. 1-94, Canad
an Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91

IMPORTANT
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with
installationclearancesspeciedonthemodel/serial
rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located
inside the range hood on the left side (See page 2
for location). Range hood location should be away
from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and
strong heating vents.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must
be used. Given dimensions provide minimum
clearance. Consult the cooktop/range manufacturer
installation instructions before making any cutouts.
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See
“Electrical Requirements” section.
All openings in ceiling and wall where canopy hood
will be installed must be sealed.

For Mobile Home Installations
The installation of this range hood must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, Title
24 CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for
Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part
280) or when such standard is not applicable, the stan-
dard for Manufactured Home Installation 1982 (Manu-

Vent system must terminate to the outdoors.
Do not terminate the vent system into an attic or other
enclosed area.
Do not use a 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
Use a 3¼”x10”(8.3x25.4cm)rectangularmetal
vent. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or
metal foil vent is not recommended.
The length of vent system and number of elbows
shouldbekepttoaminimumtoprovideefcient
performance.
Forthemostefcientandquietoperation:
Use no more than three 90° elbows.
Make sure there is a minimum of 24” (61 cm) of straight
vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
Do not install 2 elbows together.
Use clamps or duct tape to seal all joints in the
vent system.
Theventsystematexitmusthaveacoldairdamper.
Usecaulkingtosealexteriorwallorroofopening
around the cap.
Best performances are reached with straight piping,
without elbows and using smooth pipe.
Maximumrecomendedventsystemlength:35ft(10.7m).
Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to
minimizebackwardcoldairowandathermalbreak
should be installed to minimize conduction of outside tem-
peratures as part of the vent system. The damper should
be on the cold air side of the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the
vent system enters the heated portion of the house.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air
systems when using ventilation systems greater than
speciedCFMofairmovement.ThespeciedCFMvaries
from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for
specicrequirementsinyourarea.
Venting Methods
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall.
Use 3¼”x10”(8.3x25.4cm)rectangularwithamaximum
vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 7” (17.8 cm) round vent with
amaximumlengthof50ft(15.2m)forventsystem.
NOTE
Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent
creates both back pressure and air turbulence
that greatly reduce performance.
